They must have known a week of rain was on the way & they wanted dry food!! Thanks for the comments & it does look like a scrum when you think of it. #9828797

A nice find and capture Chris, and an excellent theme image!
We were in Maitland yesterday, but it was too wet to take the camera out of the car! #9828805

I feel like that sometimes, Chris....although I shouldn't!!! A great rural capture!

Thanks a lot for the comments on this one. Laura, I think I'll have to let the men explain a scrum to you!!! We are getting pretty soggy after 5 days non-stop rain. #9829361

Laura ~ I'm not a man, ... but a "Scrum" is an abbreviated form of "scrummage" which is a modification of "scrimmage" which was derived from the word "skirmish"! It's a way of restarting a Rugby game after an accidental infringement or when the ball has gone out of play. (I googled it! Ha! Ha!) :) #9829530

This made me chuckle, Chris! I'm used to big-eyed cow herd photos (have taken a few myself), and this pov is just such a wonderful opposite of that. Great composition, too, with the rest of a fine rural scene in the background. #9858297

Yup..this is what cows do....great shot of a "huddle"....lol....you're always welcome to send some of your rain up our way....Arizona can use it!...Cheers, Chris =^..^= #9886831
